The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that as long as 0.6912 held, the technical picture remained more bullish than bearish although maybe not by a lot.
I was sure that 0.6912 was extremely likely to be the day’s pivotal point. The next support level below that also looked very attractive as an area to find a long trade entry.
This was a good call as although the bullish price action happened just below 0.6912, the area held. Technically the picture remains the same, we just need to move the nearest support level down to just above 0.6900.
I continue to take a similar approach: bullish above 0.6900 and very willing to take long trades at any returns to key support levels. If the price can get established above 0.6937 then that would be a very bullish sign.
There is nothing important due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Preliminary GDP data at 1:30pm London time.
